Does anyone utilize a CDI Steering Committee? If so do they have an official charter for same that I could look at?
Any CDI Competency Lists available out there?

Schedule: 

• It recommended the CDI Program Oversight Committee meet weekly during an initial implementation.   Monthly or quarterly meetings are appropriate after initial implementation.
